It's a bird. It's a plane...

No, it's mousepotato!

After 15 years of talking about it, I finally did it. I jumped out of an airplane. Twice.

My boss has been bugging me to give it a try. I kept telling him that I wanted to do it, but I never got around to it. So, he called me up last Fri. and said, "I put a $50 deposit on jump school for you. Either show up on Sun., or you owe me $50."

No more excuses, it's time to do it.

After 6 hours of ground instruction, I made two static line jumps from 3500 feet. It was incredible! Better than sex!

I have to make at least five more static line jumps, then I can free-fall. That won't take long. I am hooked.

My boss has made over 1700 jumps! The Jumpmaster on my second jump has made over 5300!

Here are some pics:

All electrical circuits contain smoke. If that smoke is allowed to leak out, the circuit will stop working.

You look kinda cute in that blue jump-suit.......did they provide incontinence pants too?.......

My dick is so big that it occupies two different time zones

....a serious question, is there much impact on your lower legs when you land?.....I'd like to give it a shot but I have a weakness in my lower right leg as I broke it badly a few years ago.....

And if you're not sure, do a tandem.
You have the guy stapped to your back who will take over if you freak out, pass out, or "oops".
Just remember rule #2 "Don't drop the rip cord!"

(For those not familiar with skydiving, the rip cord is attached to a large hand grip. Sometimes it's plastic, most often it's aluminum. A chunk of aluminum falling 4500+ft makes a really big dent in what ever it hits.)

Flame not, lest ye be phlegmed.

LOL

It's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.

well after the first 15 seconds or so you reach terminal velocity (great name for it lol) and it feels like you are floating.

Cliff-diving sounds like fun, too. Did you actually dive from that height? Or did you go in feet first?

Well I have that beat to shreds because I have been over 18k feet in a turbo prop.

Well, we're comparing apples and oranges since cliff diving has got to be nothing compared to sky diving, but no, I just climbed up a cliff and jumped off. It hurt like a bitch. I cut myself up a bit and my feet were hurting for an hour. I just got a peice of wood out of my foot a month later. The cliffs were so sharp that my feet were raw and all cut up. It sure was a rush though. Honestly though the scariest part is just climbing up and waiting to jump. You should see the amount of people that freeze up. It's damn high for a jump. Some poor souls jumped and didn't get thier arms to their sides and boy were they hurting. Others smacked their faces in the water which wasn't pretty either. The only person who dived was the captain of our boat, but he's been doing this for his whole life. Pretty sweet though to see someone dive from that height!

No matter what you do, don't waste time thinking, keep your arms to your sides, and apparently it would have helped if I would have pointed my feet.

Well I come from Bulgaria, and visited there a few summers ago. Being that they border Turkey, I crossed the border for a minute to see if I'd get shot (I ran when a soldier patrolling it saw me).

What if you had admin rights to life?

I mean bulgaria border and turkey, cause there was this fence and all. Plus there WERE posts w/ soldiers which is why I was tempted. As for drug smuggling, that's nothing, considering those countries are overrun w/ mafia.
